Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped Andes mints or mint chocolate pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and peppermint extract.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  4. Add chocolate: Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Andes mints.
  5. Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For extra mint flavor, drizzle cooled cookies with melted mint chocolate or top with a whole Andes mint right after baking.
  • Dough can be chilled for 30 minutes for thicker cookies.
